This is of course based on opinion. Not Oscars or awards. So if you think a shmuck like Adam Sandler makes the list- fire away!
So of course...
1. Bela Lugosi



You fine folks knew that was coming, I reckon.
Yes, I know. He could really ham it up. But he was good at it.
When someone imitates Dracula, you don't hear  Christopher Lee or John Carradine. Lee played the Count in 10 films; Carradine in 4 films.
Bela only did 2.
Supernatural?...perhaps. Baloney?...Perhaps not!" Bela Lugosi-the BLACK CAT (1934)
Interviewer-"Does Dracula ever end for you?
Lugosi-"No. Dracula-never ends."
Slobber, Drool, Drip!

In No particular order...

Sam Rockwell (the man can dive into a role flawlessly)

Gary Oldman (same thing.. I did not recognize him as Commissioner Gordon in Batman Begins)

Leonard Nemoy.  (I saw Shell Duvall's "Fairytale Theater" 35 years ago "Alladin and his wonderful Lamp" I was trying to guess who played Jaffar.. I didn't know it was Nemoy until the credits rolled up)

Gene Hackman

Brando (before he went totally bats**t crazy, he was an amazing actor)

Helen Slater (Watch Supergirl, she played up her secret identity AND supergirl with amazing and highly underrated acting skills!)

John Saxxon (he got stuck in the Hollywood mobeus strip of playing one role for most his careeer.. except in "Wrong is Right" where he gave Sean Connerys character "How to spy" lessons..and sold it...and Sir Sean bought it)

Allhallowsday

If you want to view paradise . . . simply look around and view it!

Nimoy.
John SAXON.

I think that highly of the late Mr. Saxxon to give him TWO X's in his name. :P

As for Mr. Nimoy... I don't know why I always use an E..but I do.

Kubrick, Nolan, Tarantino, Wan, Iñárritu, Scorsese, Chaplin, Abrams, Wes Anderson, Gilliam, Kurosawa, Villeneuve - the elite



I believe in the international communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

zombie no.one

you posted this in bad movies so with that in mind I'll go for Christopher George..always enjoy when he's on screen, even if I only really know him for his b movie horror/slasher stuff

saw a documentary on him recently where they pointed out that studio execs always considered him too nice to be a bad guy, but too nasty to be a good guy...
